deploy openssl patch

Dear list

I have a couple of 4.1 firewalls that I would like to upgrade to 4.2.
Before taking them online again I'd like to deploy the openssl patch
from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.2/common/002_openssl.patch

Being perimeter firewalls, those systems don't have compile tools
installed. I would thus need to pre-compile libssl on a 4.2 buildhost
and deploy it onto the firewalls. I've been looking through the
documentation but did not find a "good" way to do this, because openssl
is not a package, but part of the base system.

Is there any way other than tar - scp - untar after compiling libssl?

thx for any pointers
